Jack's long-suppressed trauma surfaces as he discovers there is more to Isabel Irish's seemingly random murder by his former client, Wayne Milovich — namely, a criminal conspiracy involving his trusted friend, homicide detective Barry Tregear. When a cop is murdered in a drive-through, a chain reaction is set off, forcing Jack to search for the truth behind his wife's murder.

Enlisting the help of his old flame, Linda Hillier, Jack digs back 25 years into a record-breaking drug raid dubbed Great White. He soon meets Barry's mistress, Nina Persky, who finds herself under threat from Troy, a troubled young man hell-bent on murdering every cop connected to the raid. To find the truth, Jack must stop Troy before everyone involved winds up dead.
